Joshua 18
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
Lè yo fin soumèt tout peyi a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo reyini lavil Silo kote yo te kanpe Tant Randevou a. Tout peyi a te pou yo.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Men, te gen sèt branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' ankò resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan tè a.
3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel: 'How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, hath given you?
Lè sa a, Jozye di yo: -Kisa n'ap tann pou n' al pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou an?
4 Appoint for you three men for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.
Chak branch fanmi pral chwazi twa gason ban mwen. M'a voye yo al mache toupatou nan peyi a. Y'a make pòsyon yo ta renmen gen pou yo. Apre sa, y'a tounen vin jwenn mwen.
5 And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
Y'a separe rès peyi a an sèt pòsyon. Moun branch fanmi Jida yo va rete sou tè pa yo nan sid, epi moun branch fanmi Jozèf yo va rete sou pòsyon tè pa yo tou nan nò.
6 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
N'a make sou papye jan nou ta renmen separe rès peyi a an sèt pòsyon. N'a pote papye a ban mwen isit la. Apre sa, m'a vin tire osò pou nou devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
7 For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.'
Moun Levi yo menm p'ap resevwa ankenn pòsyon nan tè a tankou lòt branch fanmi yo, paske tou sa y'a gen pou yo fè se sèvi pou yo sèvi prèt pou Seyè a. Pou moun branch fanmi Gad yo, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo ak mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, yo gen tan resevwa pòsyon pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve, jan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye, te ba yo l' la.
8 And the men arose, and went; and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying: 'Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come back to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.'
Se konsa mesye yo al vizite tout peyi a pou yo ka make sou papye jan peyi a ye. Anvan sa, Jozye te bay mesye yo lòd sa a: -Ale mache nan tout peyi a. Make jan nou wè l'. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen. M'a moute Silo pou m' ka tire osò pou nou, pou m' ka konnen volonte Seyè a.
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book, and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh.
Mesye yo pati, yo mache nan tout peyi a. Yo make sou papye tout lavil yo jwenn. Yo separe yo fè sèt pòsyon ak non tout lavil yo, epi yo pote l' bay Jozye nan kan Silo a.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Lè sa a, Jozye tire osò pou yo devan Seyè a nan Silo. Se la li separe peyi a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li bay chak moun pòsyon ki vin pou yo.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te jwenn pòsyon tè ki nan mitan an, pòsyon tè moun Jida yo yon bò ak pòsyon tè moun Jozèf yo yon lòt bò.
12 And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
Sou bò nò, lizyè yo a te konmanse larivyè Jouden, li moute flan nò mòn Jeriko a, li rale moute sou mòn yo nan direksyon solèy kouche, jouk li rive nan dezè Bèt avenn lan.
13 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz — the same is Beth-el — southward; and the border went down to Atroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
Apre sa, li pase lavil Louz, sou bò sid bit Louz la kote yo rele jouk jòdi a Betèl. Li desann Atawòt ada, sou mòn ki sou bò sid lavil Bètowon an.
14 And the border was drawn and turned about on the west side southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal — the same is Kiriath-jearim — a city of the children of Judah; this was the west side.
Lizyè a fè yon koub, li vire kite direksyon lwès, li pran direksyon sid, depi sou mòn ki anfas Bètowon an sou bò sid, jouk li rive lavil Kiriyat-Baal yo rele Kiriyat-Jearim jòdi a, ki te pou moun Jida yo. Se sa ki te limit pòsyon pa moun Benjamen yo sou bò solèy kouche.
15 And the south side was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
Men limit yo sou bò sid: li pati depi nan Kalfou Kiriyat-Jearim lan, li moute bò Gachen, li pran direksyon lwès, li parèt bò sous dlo Neftoa yo.
16 And the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the Valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.
Apre sa, li rive jouk bò mòn ki anfas fon Pitit Ennon an, ki sou bò nò plenn Refayim yo. Li pran pant mòn moun Jebis yo desann nan fon Ennon an, l' al bout sou Anwogèl.
17 And it was drawn on the north, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Apre sa, li fè yon koub li vire sou nan nò, li pase Anchemèch. Apre sa, li rive Gelilòt anfas pas Adoumim. Li desann bò Wòch Boan. Boan sa a te pitit Woubenn.
18 And it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah.
Apre sa, li pase sou flan nò mòn Neta araba, li desann nan fon Jouden an.
19 And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan; this was the south border.
Li rive sou flan nò mòn Bèt-Ogla. L' al bout nan pwent nò lanmè Mouri a, nan bout sid larivyè Jouden an. Se sa ki te limit sid yo.
20 And the Jordan was to be the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.
Sou bò solèy leve, larivyè Jouden an te sèvi yo baliz. Men limit pòsyon tè yo te bay moun Benjamen yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi pa yo.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz;
Men non lavil ki te pou fanmi moun Benjamen yo. Se te Jeriko, Bèt-Ogla, Emèkkesis,
22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el;
Bèt arara, Semarayim, Betèl,
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah;
Avim, Para, Ofra,
24 and Chephar-ammonah, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:
Kefa amoni, Ofni, Geba. Sa te fè antou douz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth;
Te gen tou Gabawon, Rama, Beewòt,
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah;
Mizpe, Kefira, Mosa,
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah;
Rekèm, Jipeyèl, Tareala,
28 and Zela, Eleph, and the Jebusite — the same is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Sela-Elèf, Jebis ki vle di Jerizalèm, Gibeya ak Kiriyat. Sa te fè antou katòz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo. Men pòsyon tè yo te bay branch fanmi Benjamen yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi pa yo.
